Hotly-tipped Mull/London-based post-rock outfit MILLION MOONS are announcing their return today with new single ‘Black Sun Rising’ set for release 14th April 2026 – a scintillating glimpse of the complex new textures and enthralling world building that the band are growing into.

Following a rapturously-received set at Ripcord Festival last month, the band are also pleased to announce a run of summer UK headline tour dates, with tickets on sale now, plus an appearance at Crowded Festival this October.

Produced by Lewis Johns (Rolo Tomassi, Slow Crush, Employed To Serve, Loathe) at The Ranch in Southampton, the single is the first taste of a body of new work coming later this year that stands on the shoulders of the band’s previous two records, taking listeners on a journey that is richer, deeper, and more expansive than ever before.

“We knew this would be a single from the moment Ed shared the first demo in the group thread,” says bassist Jay Miller of the new track. “It’s got such a memorable melody, and the energy when the full band comes in is just so huge! The journey of the piece is really epic, too. It builds and builds into a huge post-rock crescendo before ending back where it begins but leaving you feeling like you’ve grown or changed along the way.”

“We gave this track its live debut at Ripcord Festival 2026 in Glasgow, and we walked away feeling that this will likely be a fan favourite moving forwards,” adds drummer Solomon Radley. “It’s a piece about nature – both how beautiful the natural world is and that feeling that the things that make it that way are quietly slipping away from us. For me, listening to it is bittersweet and cathartic at the same time.”
